IHS.com Privacy Policy |
This Web site, www.ihsiq.com, is owned and operated by IHS, Inc. IHS has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our respect for your privacy and our commitment to protecting your personal information.
Any and all information you provide at this Web site will be kept strictly confidential and will not be sold, redistributed, or otherwise disclosed. Information collected at this Web site is used expressly by IHS to identify its customers and to better the quality of programs, services and information offered to them.
Personal Information Privacy
IHS is committed to the responsible use of personal information provided by our Web site visitors. As such, we adhere to the highest standards in protecting and safeguarding your right to privacy while using and interacting with our Web site.
While you can access most of our Web site without submitting any personal data, there are certain areas that request specific personal information including name, phone number, and email address. The information you submit is used to respond to your requests and to keep you informed of our products and programs. We will not share your information with anyone who is not an employee of IHS or who has not signed an appropriate non-disclosure agreement.
Browser Information Collected
Information regarding your Web browser is collected so that we may determine the best technical approach for presenting our Web site content to you and to determine security administration procedures. None of the information collected from your browser personally identifies you.
Cookies
When you interact with a IHS online channel, such as our Web site or through email, we strive to make that experience easy and meaningful. To do so, we use several tools. When you come to our Web site, our Web server sends a cookie to your computer. A cookie is simply an electronically transmitted file that holds small pieces of information. When you navigate through our Web site, your browser "requests" pages for you to view, and that request will include the information stored in the cookie we previously sent to your computer. This process is like an electronic "handshake" between IHS' system and your computer; the information exchanged allows us to recognize your browser. IHS also uses other technology, such as "Graphics Interchange Format" files (GIFs) to recognize users and collect and transmit information online, as described below.
Cookies and Personal Identification. Standing alone, cookies, GIFs and other Web tools, as well as data derived from them, do not identify you personally. They merely recognize your browser.
"Persistent Cookies. "Cookies come in two flavors: persistent and session-based. Only persistent cookies remain on your computer after you've closed your browser or turned off your computer. They include such information as a unique identifier for your browser that only IHS can read and use, and the fact that you are a prior IHS Web site visitor. We are especially careful about the security and confidentiality of the information we send through persistent cookies.
"Session Cookies." Session cookies exist only during an online session with IHS. They disappear from your computer when you close your browser software or turn off your computer. Session cookies contain encrypted or encoded information about identifying information that you have previously provided to us. Session cookies help us make sure you are who you say you are after you've logged in.
